That should be more then enough to set you up to pay for your school after your ELC is over.
You're forgetting about taxes.

Also forgetting about, you know, every single aspect of adult life he will have to pay for during and after his ELC runs out.

But yeah, you guys are all right, a payout of 480K gross over three years is definitely enough to risk your entire future for, instead of waiting a couple years to get the same payout anyway...

This shouldn't even be a discussion. School is the right move for him. No questions asked.
